Achilles UVDB Registration Service

For individuals who are involved in the supply chain and who deal with utilities, the UVDB Registration is something that should be taken into consideration. For the vast majority of the sector, you cannot expect to effectively promote your products unless you have obtained UVDB certification and accreditation.

The UVDB registration and completion of the pre-qualification questionnaire are mandatory if you wish to boost the transparency of your company and expand your options within the industry while also limiting risk and ensuring that you follow industry standards.

What is Achilles UVDB, and how does it work?

Utilities Vendor Database (UVDB) is a pre-qualification system for the utility sector in the United Kingdom, developed by Achilles. It is intended to assist in the management and mitigation of risks in the supply chain in order to maintain consistent high quality and the compliance with all applicable industry standards.

What is the UVDB Registration Service, and how does it work?

Your company’s registration with the UVDB entitles it to become a member of a community of suppliers and companies serving the utility industry. It enables you to collaborate with them while also promoting the service you provide to the public. Providing you have all of the essential documents and information on hand, you should be able to finish the Registration Service in as little as a few hours if you follow the instructions carefully.

What Steps Are Included in the Process?

The process of registering with our UVDB service is straightforward, and you may complete the process in as little as four simple steps. These are the actions to take:

  • Fill out the registration form with your information.
  • Fill out a form to learn more.
  • Verify the accuracy of your information.
  • Make your profile public.
  • It is advisable to prepare all of the paperwork and information that we require ahead of time to ensure that the process runs well and that you are able to start your business with our UVDB Registration Service. You will require the following materials:
  • Information about the company (Name, Address, Website, Tax Number, Registration Number, Copy of Company Registration Certificate)
    Certificates of authenticity (Quality Management, Environment and Health and Safety)
  • Products and services are listed in alphabetical order (what you supply and what regions you supply it to)
  • Information on the financial situation (turnover from the previous year, the number of staff in your enterprise)
  • Norms and policies are outlined in this document (Corporate social responsibility, environmental management, health and safety, QMS)
  • Information on how to get in touch (Business and administration contacts)

Taking only 5 to 10 minutes to complete, the application will result in you receiving an invoice for the subscription service you have selected. Once you have made your payment, we will send you an Activation code that will allow you to begin the pre-qualification questionnaire (PQQ).

In most cases, the PQQ stage will take 2 to 3 hours and will require you to submit information about your company’s finances, human resources, safety and environmental policies, quality management systems, insurance coverages, products and services, corporate social responsibility, and legal information. If you run into any difficulties, our qualified and experienced team is on hand to assist you with any portion of the procedure that you are having difficulty with.

Five different subscription levels are available for you to pick from, and you can choose which one you want based on the quantity of product codes you want to market to potential purchasers within the UVDB community.

What Is the Importance of This?

The utility sector, like any other company, works to maintain high standards at all levels of operation. By completing a single questionnaire, you can have access to the whole sector through the UVDB registration process, which is free.

By completing the UVDB registration process and obtaining UVDB accreditation, you will be able to connect with a large number of utility businesses and bid on contracts for unique and specific requirements. This is a wonderful approach for businesses to cut expenses, save time, and minimise administrative workload, allowing your company to increase efficiency and productivity as a result.

What Is the Meaning of Achilles?

Achilles is intended to aid utility firms in their efforts to collaborate, market products and services, and maintain the high standards anticipated in the sector at large. Specifically, the Utilities Vendor Database Supplier Management Service is responsible for accomplishing this. It works on behalf of all of the major utilities companies in the United Kingdom.

Why Should Your Company Become Accredited with the UVDB?

A company like yours can reap major benefits from being a member of UVDB. It provides an opportunity for your firm to demonstrate what it is capable of. Additionally, it provides the potential to obtain access to a diverse range of contracting opportunities. Through your participation in UVDB, you will be able to compete in the same arena as established utility buyer organisations such as Thames Water, SSE, and National Grid.

Businesses in the utilities industry can benefit greatly from the UVDB community, which provides a neutral and collaborative environment in which to identify a wide range of business opportunities.

In order to boost the advertising of your products and services, you should consider becoming a member of the UV Database. You will be able to locate buyers and gain access to tender opportunities as a result of these advertising activities. In the same way, the pre-qualification questionnaire allows you to demonstrate your suitability for fulfilling industry demands and requirements, and vice versa.

Our Achilles UVDB Registration Service provides you with specialised advisors who are knowledgeable and dedicated to assisting your company in being recognised with the UVDB. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
